Edmonds Lodge Overnighter at Trollhaugen Lodge
  

   Here's a chance to try some Winter snow sports activities. Skis, boots, and snowshoes are available at reasonable rates. Or just relax in the Trollhaugen Lodge with friends, a toasty fireplace, potluck meals, access to board, card, and other games, and ping pong.

 

   Monday January 31st is the deadline for getting money to Loren Krusenstjerna (phone 425-775-1710 or email lkrusenstjerna@hotmail.com) for secure reservations at Trollhaugen.

 

   Click here for a map to Trollhaugen and the Sno-Park. Then click on either blue pointer or either blue road segment for more information. Car pooling is available and encouraged.

 

   About 10 miles before you get to (Stampede Pass exit 62) the Sno-Park, stop at exit 52 or 53 if Eastbound, exit 71 or 70 if Westbound, and call Trollhaugen Lodge at (509) 656-9997 so Tim can meet you at Trollhaugen's locked parking area (and collect your cash or check parking fee) at the Sno-Park. He will then transport you up to the Lodge with the snow-cat. Take exit 62 (Stampede Pass) and head southwesterly 0.6 mile to get to the Sno-Park, or if the road is open, go southwesterly 0.9 mile from the freeway and turn left at the Trollhaugen sign. During the summer you park close to Trollhaugen and there is no parking fee (or snow-cat).

 

   If there is no snow and the road is open, simply drive up to Trollhaugen (pricing) (map).
